I was just reading about several studies that said some men who answered “no” when asked if they’d ever committed rape answered “yes” when asked questions like “have you ever used physical force to overcome a sex partner” or “have you ever continued having sex after being told ‘no.’” That really surprised me and…

Yeah I saw something about The Meadows having a new curfew I think? And that was why The Weeknd cancelled Saturday night. Someone else said that was because of SNL though. I would have definitely been pissed at the situation, especially since tickets were apparently really expensive. (I’m curious about what expensive…

Oh really? I didn’t know he had a history of doing that kind of stuff but it doesn’t surprise me. Someone said he started an hour late tonight. He’s just such a strange guy. In his music and lyrics he comes across (to me) as very insightful and self-aware but sometimes his actions make him seem arrogant or just…

I guess because it happened so suddenly. But yeah, I guess it’s not smart to assume anything when Kanye’s involved.

Yeah I could definitely see Kanye getting bored or annoyed and just stopping a show. But this struck me as legit for some reason. I definitely understand being angry at the situation, though. I was at a Jane’s Addiction show in Philly about 8 million years ago when the band got pissed at the security guards and walked…

Seems kind of shitty for people in the crowd to be yelling “what the fuck.” He took off so abruptly I assume it’s something rough.

Yes! And as far as I can tell, the only reference to Dirt Bag was in “filed to.” It wasn’t until I read further down that I realized this was an aggregate of stories. I feel like it’s kind of harsh to follow a description of RW’s neurological difficulties with a transition that makes one question one’s sanity.

Huh. I’d never heard of that before, kind of interesting. I guess I can see how it relates to the skit (sex vs. destruction) but that’s a pretry obscure reference. Unless everyone but me is familiar with the concept of death drive, which could certainly be the case. I’m not known for knowing stuff.

To make it worse I didn’t realize it was Dirt Bag and that it included multiple items. I kept trying to connect death drive to the Robin Williams story. Death drive is making my brain hurt. I really feel like I can’t move on with my day until somebody makes sense of this.

Yeah I agree, all this gloating doesn’t seem warranted. The headlines I’ve seen seem to imply he’s done something shocking and illegal when that just isn’t the case this time. Trump is repugnant for so many valid reasons, and I feel like crying wolf like this only obscures them.

“That he might have been earning no money, net, for 20 years is the big story — not that he’s taking advantage of some loophole in the tax law.”

Wow, interesting article but I’m disappointed to realize I’ve been living a lie since h.s. biology. I feel like I did when they demoted Pluto.

I learned it that way, too! That since blonde is a recessive gene, 2 blonde parents can’t have kids with dark hair. But I feel like I’ve seen real-life evidence that contradicts this? In the Trumps’ case though, I always assumed Ivana dyed her hair.

“truly, when they call it intelligence, it’s there for a reason...”

Whoah! I had no idea there was a new show coming. I am off to Google details!

I also learned aglet from Phineas and Ferb! I try to weave it into everyday conversation as much as possible. Which isn’t easy.

Female perspective: to me, party always means drugs. But in this particular example, I think it means drugs to be followed by getting down. I’ll be honest, nobody since high school has offered me drugs by asking me to party. And the very few times I’ve been in group/swinging situations things just started happening,…

Pretty sure I would have come up with at least 20 other variations by the time I got there, but thanks for your confidence!

Oh god, wale not whale.

In my opinion, harmonica is second only to violin in the “you think you could pick it up and just whale and it would somehow not sound like cats being tortured” instrument category. I play neither and still can’t believe how awful I can make them sound.
